Delightful Bedding

I do love European Mountain Style!  It's not always the style that every client wants, but when I get a client who wants chalet inspired interiors, I'm purring!

These are some bedding pillows from a house I've been working on recently. First, let me say that the wallpaper you see here is a Pierre Frey favorite, Everan. It comes in some great colorways:

By the way, this pattern also comes in fabric and the six color choices are absolutely beautiful! 

The large Euro shams in the background are custom made in a charming stag pattern from Maria Flora called Stelvio:

The two front shams are made up in another Pierre Frey, Patiala, a favorite of mine (but then I loooove anything Pierre Frey):

Finally, the front toss pillow is in Schumacher's Woeburn Meadow:

Woburn Meadow is a fabric I have used repeatedly for years.  It makes up beautifully into bedspreads and curtains.  It has a subtle sophistication but works well in a rustic environment.  And, of course, red looks so great in mountain houses!

All fabrics and wallpapers are available from Dragonfly Designs.  To order, request free samples or enlist mountain design help, call 530 583-6076.  

Pierre Frey's Tyrol

This Pierre Frey fabric has been around for many years now.  It's been one of my favorites ever since I started designing mountain interiors over seventeen years ago.

Pierre Frey's Tyrol, available here.  

Tyrol makes up beautifully into curtains.  In a bedroom, I would also upholster the headboard in it, or use it for Euro shams.  

What to do with the walls?  Why, Pierre Frey's Salzburg wallpaper, of course!

Salzburg, available here.

What To Do With a Small Bedroom

My answer:  cover the walls, windows and bed with the same pattern.  It creates a charming little cocoon.  Your eye is so entertained by the pattern that you don't notice the small size of the room.

Fabric and Wallpaper:  Telluride by Thibaut, available here.

My Clients are Loving this Fabric!

Ralph Lauren's new Algonquin in Horn:

And here it is in Vintage Red.  

I' m a big fan of these trade blanket fabrics.  Ralph Lauren has quite a few and there are a number of others out there by the top fabric houses.  They are practical and bullet-proof...great for kids, dogs and mountain living.  This is the kind of fabric that will last a lifetime.  

You can buy it here.

What a Hoot!

What could be more charming than this delightful Arts and Crafts inspired tile from Pratt and Larson:

Pratt and Larson has a beautiful array of colors, textures and creatures to choose from.  

Lake-Side Sleeping

I'm crazy for this wave bed for lake-front bedrooms. Does everything have to be brown in the mountains?  Why not brighten cabin life up with a little color. Blue is a wonderful color for mountain houses, and often overlooked.  I can't get enough of it!

Somerset Bay Northshore Bed

There are some other great items in the Somerset Bay line.  Here's another one of their beds which I've used in the past:

Here's a photo of the same bed in one of my client's houses:

I also like this Somerset Bay coffee table:

And finally, the Bald Head Console Table would be very charming in a funky cabin, don't you think?
